Straight talk about Reading, Curriculum and literacy. Literacy empowers, enlightens and liberates all people, this is a fundamental human right everyone needs to protect and advance. Teachers need to model, inspire and espouse the best qualities of Humanity. Students need to experience, honor, model and embody the best of Humanity. Standardized Reading and Math tests measure a student's exposure to curriculum, not their curiosity, empathy, creativity or humanity.

Each spring, students in grades two through eleven take a STAR test. The STAR Program looks at how well schools and students are performing. Students take tests in math, reading, writing, science, and history. Teachers and parents can use test results to improve student learning.

Use the Online STAR Test Questions Below to help Student Prepare for the STAR assessment.

Im having my star testing at 11:30 and my tip is just be calm and don't worry . Do your best. If you get a few mistakes, big deal. The sun will still shine and nothing bad will happen. Skip the ones you don't get and then try to guess on the ones you odnt know. Or try to fit each answer to the question if you dont get it.

The Dyslexic Reading Teacher Sean Taylor

Literacy for me was almost an unrealized unattainable dream! As a dyslexic learner I was unable to read, write, or decode words as a child, p,d,b and q were all the same letter. The written word was a collection of cuneiform squiggles that swam around on the page. I was identified dyslexic at age 9 and later dysgraphic. I spent the next 6 years in special education programs (limbō) trying to learn to read and write. The special education programs never acknowledged my creative capabilities, coping skills and shame and humiliation of being illiterate, they focused on "curing" my learning disabilities with under-trained teachers! Many classroom teachers assumed I would never read or write due to the severity of my dyslexia and this made me feel worthless. I eventually learned to read all words by sight the same method as learning Chinese. I am a dyslexic reading teacher that has built a reputation for finding innovative ways to teach reading and critical thinking to all students! ALL children are gifted and can learn to read!
